Life is SWEETER when shared with friends!

My goal is to make a card with each of the stamps I recently acquired.

This 5.5 x 5.5" card features the adorable Gurlee Girl Cammy stamp which I have colored with Copic markers. I also used Glossy Accents on the flowers on her hat and belt which gives a nice glossy finish. Embellishments are Prima flower vines and Flower Soft (the colorful edge on the grass) and Say it in Crystals and Pearls.

Thank You Cards

Recently, my friends and I got together for dinner and a craft evening. They really spoiled me with all my favorite things, food, chocolate, coffee, cheesecake, and beautiful gifts. I am so blessed to have these wonderful ladies in my life. I made them each a Thank You card with a window box.

I tried my hand at an easel card. The card is 5x5". I used one of my handmade tear bears, Prima flowers and embellishments. I made a window box envelope too.

Love to Bake!

This 2-page layout background is done on Bazzill dotted swiss paper (which is my favorite paper for backgrounds). I have made 2 tear bears and a peek-a-boo bear. 5 Photo mats and 2 removal jounaling tags. Prima flowers and ribbon, and other embellishments complete this page. I love the Martha Stewart punches which add so much detail. On the paper-pieced table, you will notice I decorated the cake with Liquid Pearls, as well as on the bears' dress and apron.

Page 1 has a double sided jouranling tag tucked behing the photo mat and another small tag above the large photo mat.

Easter Tear bunny & lamb

This 2-page layout has one of my handmade tear lambs, and a tear bunny which is a joint effort of mine and Stephanie's. She did the hard work of tearing and shading it and started putting it together, and I finished it off. The house is a paper pieced Easter Egg house. See the cute bunny pair on page 1. Embellishments and crystals complete this page.
